| A dumb question from me. Scott, Are you saying that if a gyro was run
in a fixed position over night, it would flip
Does a gimballed gyroscope on the earth keep a relative position in
relationship to the planet Earth? or to the Sun?
Also as I see it if this were the case, the power it takes to run the
gyron will be equal to or more than the power to turn the generator.
One cannot select a dime store gyro and expect it to turn a 30mw
generator as much as it sounds practical. I have problems with the very
basic assumption that a gryo on earth is somehow relative to earths
relative position with the Sun. If this is the case, you better warn
the aviation community so they don't fly inverted when flying around
the world. They need to know this right away folks.

Here's a counterproposal for 'free' energy from a gyroscope. Well, not
free, I believe the force it is exploiting is coming from earth's
rotation, but I suspect there's a mistake somewhere because I don't
think I'm conserving angular momentum.
Put a partially gimballed gyroscope on the equator with its axis of
rotation aimed straight up/down. As earth rotates, the gyroscope will
continue to rotate in the same plane, but the earth will rotate
underneath it flipping it end over end once a day. Now, we only allow
the gyroscope's axis of rotation to rotate through a vertical plane
--- the equator. Now we have a gyroscope whose axis of rotation will
flip end-over-end 360 degrees a day.
Attach a generator, generate electricity.
Ah, it does purporteldy work!

'gyrogenerator'
Now how do I work out the math for how much energy it would produce?
